About this map

The Copper River dominates this landscape, serving as a massive glacial drainage that snakes through the convergence of the Chugach National Forest and Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. The topography is defined by the massive waterway and its tributaries, including the Tasnuna River and Clear Creek. A single human-named pathway, the Jackson Creek Trail, provides a thin line of access near Jackson Creek in the northwest, illustrating the isolation of this river-cut terrain. Further south, a distinctive landform known as The Peninsula sits within the complex wetland and river systems, highlighting the dynamic nature of this Alaskan waterway before it reaches the coast.
